The Magician's Daughter

In the early 1900s, a young woman is caught between two worlds in H. G. Parry’s cozy tale of magic, miracles, and an adventure of a lifetime.

Off the coast of Ireland sits a legendary island hidden by magic. A place of ruins and ancient trees, sea salt air, and fairy lore, Hy-Brasil is the only home Biddy has ever known. Washed up on its shore as a baby, Biddy lives a quiet life with her guardian, the mercurial magician Rowan. A life she finds increasingly stifling.

One night, Rowan fails to return from his mysterious travels. To find him, Biddy must venture into the outside world for the first time. But Rowan has powerful enemies—forces who have hoarded the world’s magic and have set their sights on the magician’s many secrets.

Biddy may be the key to stopping them. Yet the closer she gets to answers, the more she questions everything she’s ever believed about Rowan, her past, and the nature of magic itself.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Witches Brew

Witches Brew is an earthy and softly floral fragrance that opens with warm clove and gentle spice, creating an immediate sense of familiarity. At its heart, delicate violet brings a subtle sweetness that lifts and softens the richness of dark patchouli. The base is deep and grounding, with smoky, woodsy notes that linger in the air, balanced by a soft warmth. Smooth and atmospheric, this scent feels both comforting and a little unexpected, blending warmth, earth, and soft florals into something subtly captivating.

Why we chose this: Biddy grew up on a hidden island with a mercurial magician for a guardian, surrounded by ancient trees and sea salt air and fairy lore, and she has always known there is a world beyond the magic she was raised inside. Witches Brew carries the earthy, ancient warmth of a story rooted in Irish folklore and the particular magic of a place that exists just outside ordinary maps, patchouli and violet and clove that smell like sea-salted earth and something old and alive. Light this candle as Biddy ventures into the outside world for the first time, and let the grounding warmth fill the room like a legendary island off the coast of Ireland, where the ruins hold secrets and the trees remember everything.
